When my kids were young, I watched Winnie the Pooh videos countless times. The character, Eeyore, always reminded me of the importance of having a positive attitude. 

If you don’t remember, Eeyore was a donkey who was pessimistic and depressed. He viewed most things negatively. 

According to workplace mental health studies, I believe we have a growing number of Eeyore’s in the workplace. Their negative outlooks can hinder the enthusiasm of others. 

Philippians 4:8 says, “Brothers and sisters, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable—if anything is excellent or praiseworthy—think about such things.” 

If you think you’re an Eeyore at times, be encouraged. With some determination you can focus on the positive and bring joy to others.
